Product Description

Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract – Bulk Valerian Root Botanical Raw Material For Relaxation‑Focused Supplements

Drawing on 26 years exporting botanicals, shaanxi Hongda Phytochemistry only process genuine Valeriana officinalis root & rhizome and run HPLC measurement for valerenic acid on every single batch.We employ a core "low-temperature ultrasonic synergistic countercurrent extraction + activity fingerprint spectroscopy control" technology to ensure valeric acid content remains within the golden range of 0.4% - 0.8% (HPLC) Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract. Also, a special technique takes care of the problem of its "pungent odor." We test our products to make sure they are very effective, safe, and fulfill World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Valerian root extract is used by pharmaceutical businesses all over the world to make herbal supplements, functional drinks, and sleep aids that don't need a prescription.

- Botanical source：Dried root and rhizome of Valeriana officinalis

‑ Ratio extract: 4:1, 10:1

‑ Standardized grade: Valerenic acid 0.3%, 0.8% (HPLC)

‑ Appearance: Brown‑yellow fine powder

‑ Particle size: 95% pass 80 mesh; custom mesh size negotiable for large‑volume orders

‑ Storage requirement: Keep sealed, cool‑dry environment, avoid direct sunlight and high humidity

Ask for sample and actual batch COA before finalising your bulk order:duke@hongdaherb.com

Quick practical note for technical teams：Valerian extract carries a strong distinctive earthy odour. This is a natural trait of the raw material itself, not a manufacturing defect, and it creates real formulation hurdles for gummies and beverage applications.

For every finished batch we ship:

1. HPLC testing for valerenic acid; we clearly state test method on each COA, no ambiguous UV‑based values for standardised grades
2. Botanical identity confirmation to rule out substitute plant material
3. Full screening for heavy metals, pesticide residues, residual solvents and microbial safety
4. Retain batch‑level production records for traceability

We never reuse generic template COAs; each document corresponds strictly to your shipment batch number. Third‑party independent laboratory testing is acceptable if your market compliance requires external validation.

Laboratory

Practical Formulation Guidance (rarely covered on basic spec sheets)

Years supplying overseas supplement brands have given us hands‑on insights you will not find on standard datasheets. This ingredient behaves differently from many common herbal extracts, and overlooking small details can create production headaches.

Capsules and compressed tablets are the most straightforward dosage forms. Enclosed formats help contain valerian’s strong natural odour. If you plan gummies, chewables or liquid drinks, you must plan flavour‑masking work early in R&D. The raw extract’s earthy scent can overpower finished consumer products without proper formulation adjustments.
Valeriana Officinalis Root Extract is hygroscopic. High‑humidity storage causes caking and worsens powder flow during tableting or blending. Tight drum sealing and dry warehouse conditions are essential.
When creating multi‑herb blends, consider compatibility with other botanicals. Some complementary raw materials may shift overall sensory profile. Our technical team can offer practical suggestions based on similar projects we have handled.
Regulatory requirements vary widely. Some markets place special restrictions on valerian‑containing finished goods. We provide raw‑material documentation, but final product registration work remains your responsibility.

If you encounter blending, flowability or sensory challenges during pilot trials, feel free to connect with our technical‑sales team.

Bulk Order, Packaging & Export Lead‑time

Lab‑size evaluation samples are available; customer covers courier freight for sample parcels.

Stock‑ready goods can ship within 10‑16 working days. Since valerian root yield is affected by growing‑season weather, lead‑time adjustments may apply for very large orders, and we notify you well ahead of time.

Standard export packing: 25 kg fibre drum, double inner food‑grade PE moisture‑proof bags.

Custom packaging solutions can be discussed for special‑project requirements.

FAQ

Q: How do you guarantee your material is not Valeriana jatamansi?

A: We run HPLC valerenic‑acid assay plus botanical identity check for every incoming root lot and finished powder. Valeriana jatamansi cannot hit our valerenic‑acid specification threshold. Third‑party verification can be arranged upon audit needs.

Q: Why do I see big price gaps across different suppliers for “0.8% valerian extract”?

A: Always check which analytical method is used. UV testing returns higher numbers than HPLC. Some suppliers quote UV‑generated figures while others use HPLC. Comparing prices without matching test methods gives misleading conclusions.

Q: What documents can you provide for import clearance?

A: ISO9001, Halal, Kosher certificates are available on request. Every shipment comes with batch‑specific COA and MSDS. We do not supply finished‑product registration dossiers.

Q: What is shelf‑life for bulk valerian root extract powder?

A: 24 months under properly sealed cool‑dry storage. High humidity and direct sunlight will accelerate quality degradation.

Q: What is your MOQ?

A: Standard bulk MOQ is 25 kg. Small trial samples are available for pre‑production testing. Volume‑based discounts apply for long‑term stable orders.

Q: What papers do you give me?

A: Every order comes with a COA, SDS, Organic Certificates, and GMP Compliance Reports.
